Introduction
Sir Thomas Browne's vast catalogue of refuted errors Pseudodoxia Epidemica: or, Enquiries into Very many Received Tenents, and commonly Presumed Truths (1646) was an early European Encyclopedia which contributed to the 17th century scientific revolution. Though containing many errors itself to modern readers Pseudodoxia (also known as Vulgar Errors) paved the way for popular scientific journalism. In its day Pseudodoxia Epidemica was a best-seller and was placed upon the shelves of many English households. It was published in no less than six editions (1646,1650,1658 twice,1659 and 1672) and translated into several European languages.
Appendiced to Browne's encyclopaedia is An Alphabetical Table which indicates the wide spectrum of subjects covered in its pages. Compiled by Browne himself the Index lists his main sources as authors commended, his many experiments as well as the astronomical, historical, biblical and zoological queries which preoccupied him . Queries range from the cosmological,Cosmographers, why they divide their Globe into East and West, to the theological, whether our B. Saviour ever laughed, to the aesthetic,Beauty- Determined chiefly by opinion, or the several apprehensions of people, to medical matters,Drunkenness, or to be drunk once a moneth, whether it be healthfull, to the revealing esoteric entry ,-Philosophers Stone, not improbable to be procured . However entries such as, Abilities, (scientifical especially,) ought to be improved and Candle, one discharged out of a Musket through an inch board, are indicative of the empirical nature of Browne's essentially Baconian quest.
Page numbers by entry refer to the 1658 fourth edition and will be replaced by standardised Book and Chapter listings of modern editions shortly.
